What is Ohm's Law?
Click to flip
Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance. It is often expressed as V = IR.

What does the 'V' stand for in the Ohm's Law formula V = IR?
Click to flip
In the Ohm's Law formula, 'V' stands for voltage, measured in volts.
Click to flip
What does the 'I' represent in the formula V = IR?
Click to flip
In the formula, 'I' represents the current, which is measured in amperes (amps).
Click to flip
What does the 'R' symbolize in the equation V = IR?
Click to flip
'R' symbolizes resistance, which is measured in ohms (Ω).
Click to flip
If the resistance is 5 ohms and the current is 2 amps, what is the voltage across the resistor?
Click to flip
Using Ohm's Law V = IR, the voltage V = 2 amps x 5 ohms = 10 volts.
Click to flip
What happens to the current if the voltage is doubled and the resistance remains the same?
Click to flip
If the voltage is doubled and the resistance remains the same, the current will also double.
Click to flip
How does increasing resistance affect the current, assuming constant voltage?
Click to flip
Increasing the resistance will decrease the current, assuming the voltage stays constant.
Click to flip
Can Ohm’s Law be applied to all electrical components?
Click to flip
Ohm's law is most applicable to ideal resistors and simple circuits. It may not apply to components that do not have constant resistance, like diodes or transistors.
Click to flip
What unit is used to measure electrical resistance?
Click to flip
Electrical resistance is measured in ohms (Ω).
Click to flip
Define the resistance of a component if V=10 volts and I=2.5 amps.
Click to flip
Using the formula R = V/I, the resistance R = 10 volts / 2.5 amps = 4 ohms.
Click to flip
What are ohmic materials?
Click to flip
Ohmic materials are those that have a constant resistance over a range of voltages and conduct currents that are proportional to the applied voltage.
Click to flip
How is the concept of Ohm’s Law utilized in designing electrical circuits?
Click to flip
Designers use Ohm's Law to calculate the required resistance to achieve a desired current or to ensure components can handle the expected voltage and current.
Click to flip
What is the relationship between Ohm's Law and power dissipation in a resistor?
Click to flip
Power dissipation in a resistor can be calculated using the formula P = VI. Using Ohm's Law, it can also be expressed as P = I²R or P = V²/R.
Click to flip
Why is Ohm's Law considered fundamental in electrical engineering?
Click to flip
Ohm’s Law is fundamental because it describes a basic relationship between voltage, current, and resistance, crucial for analyzing and designing electrical circuits.
Click to flip
What role does temperature play in Ohm's Law's application?
Click to flip
Temperature can affect resistance; some materials may have resistance that changes significantly with temperature, which can affect the current as described by Ohm's Law.
